Shorts: Current Future – Roots of My Future
Description
Three films for 14+ about our pasts and futures. In As the Crow Flies, a teenager leaves his mango trees, family and best friend behind, in search of a better future. A black and white animation about immigration that visualizes this journey, leaving room for thought and interpretation. Pacific Vein is like taking a tourist train; sit back and see the outcomes of the Western lifestyle pass by. Big brands, hippies, celebrities, the homeless… all coexist in this strange, captivating, scenic universe. Brace yourself for a colorful yet apocalyptic experience, crammed with details to discover. In Skin Despair, a teenage girl thinks back to the time when everything changed. Never talking about male micro-aggressions towards her, but just dealing with it, reveals how these aggressions are considered to be just a part of growing up.
Current Future: recommended for ages 14+

Composition
As the Crow Flies
Amadou (13) relates the epic journey that saw him cross the desert, sea and mountains to reach France, three years after his departure from Guinea Conakry. A personal and artistic film about illegal immigration, observed through the eyes of a teenager. Current Future: Age suggestion 14+
Pacific Vein
Big brands and celebrities, pollution and self-care, the homeless and Elon Musk—they all coexist in this surreal universe. As if in a sightseeing cart, we drive along apocalyptic landscapes and get a dazzling tour of Western culture. Current Future: Age suggestion 14+
Skin Despair
Mireia only has one video from when she was 13. Playful teen images accompany her memories from that year. Like when a man offered her a hotel room. This film powerfully reveals how sexual violence has become just a normal part of girls’ lives. Current Future: Age suggestion 14+
